Ecology & Common Sense: Orca VS. White Shark Episode 4 White Shark Video 2024-04-20 | What if we remove the arguments between the scientists and just look at common sense? What conclusions will you draw regarding the disappearance of white sharks in South Africa?This video uses an ecological approach to consider why an animal might leave an area it has utilized for a very long time. The ecological considerations lead to common sense conclusions.Sadly, the scientists who are in the news thanks to the orca hype seem to be completely disconnected from ecological concepts or are either ignoring these concepts because their government affiliation requires them to.Key concepts in this video:The anthropocentric pressure on the white shark population in South Africa is so extreme that even without the orcas the chances of these sharks ultimately surviving are very slim. Between calculations of the demersal shark long line fishery's white shark victims and the KZN shark nets annual average catches, somewhere in the range of 100 white sharks are killed EVERY YEAR in South Africa just from these two sources. By comparison, the orcas have killed 10 white sharks in 10 years. Remember, this is before even considering the white sharks killed by recreational fishermen or off-shore fishing fleets, whether targeted or not.But at the core of the issue is the removal of the food source. How can a species be expected to survive (or stay in an area) if its food source has been removed? It's pretty hard to survive without food. What a large percentage of the population fails to realize is that the white sharks in South Africa only feed on seals at the islands are relatively small portion of the year. The rest of the time they are in shore feeding on smaller sharks. The very sharks the fishing industry is targeting. It's sad that people whose very careers are owed to the white sharks are happy to sell out those very animals for government job security and a little extra fame by promoting the blame of the orcas. I've met Matt Dicken and Alison Towner and can tell you that they are scum human beings. Alison Kock is also scum, the only difference is I haven't met her. What they have in common is the exploitation of species, Towner and Kock jumping on board with OCEARCH when they came and killed and mutilated the sharks there for TV, while Dicken earns his paycheck from a company killing up to 40 white sharks a year.For those who want to dig deep, all the papers can be found at this link:whitesharkvideo.com/research1.htmlThis series is a piecemeal approach to tackling the different subtopics of this larger topic of blaming orcas for the disappearance of white sharks from the white shark capital of the world, thus I recommend the other videos in the series.

White Shark Episode 4
Orca VS. White Shark E3: Shifting Villains? White Shark Video 2024-03-31 | Usually the media is busy making sharks sound bad. Now orcas, and I quote, are "murdering", "slaughtering", "terrorizing", and "slaying" sharks. Things have really shifted. With the help of a few select scientists the world is convinced that 2 "serial killer" orcas have wiped out South Africa's white shark population. So how long until humans decide they need to "step in"? and manage the "orca situation"?Next in the seriesyoutube.com/watch?v=UHd3VdbkTHE&t=648s
Orca VS. Great White: E2: Deep Dive into Locations and Frequency of these Events White Shark Video 2024-03-21 | Episode 2 in the series.00:00 Were you right about where you thought the Sophia footage was filmed?01:00 Many news outlets are getting the public confused with Sophia in Baha and the orcas in South Africa.01:50 This is NOT the first time this has happened. Not even close. Not the first time it has been witnessed. Not the first time a solo white shark has taken out a white shark. Not the first time orcas have removed the liver and left the rest. It is concerning that South African scientists are so anxious to make the news that they are publishing incorrect data. The Farallon incidents and the Baha incident all took place before the Mossel Bay incident that is in the news.02:24 The first documented incident at the Farallon Islands in 1997 proves all three of the above wrong in itself. A few years later orcas killed another white shark at the Farallones, making it two cases of orcas preying on white sharks at that location alone well before these other incidents.04:00 In EVERY case reported of white sharks being killed by orcas there have been multiple orcas present. No orca has even been truly hunting alone in these reported cases. Sometimes the whales gang up on the shark an sometimes only one in the group engages in the killing, but no orca has been alone.04:27 Why am bothering to point this out? Because it has been suggested that the orcas labeled as "rogue" in South Africa, Port and Starboard, are possibly teaching other orcas to kill white sharks and even how to kill them in a one on one manner. This is based on incorrect and incomplete evidence. It is flat out wrong. It almost seems like fear-mongering focused at the orcas as being a threat to the marine ecology there.05:00 The same scientists condemning the orcas were assembled by the South African government to present evidence that the fishing industry is NOT to blame, but the orcas are. When sharks have friends like this, who needs enemies?05:50 Are you aware of the other scientists who don't agree with this data?06:00 Begin the deep dive into all the locations this has happened and when. California, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, and likely New Zealand. Out of these, how many times did one orca do the killing?08:00 4/5 places where white sharks and orcas are known to both frequent has had a documented case of orcas killing white sharks. 09:43 With the evidence available, do you think orcas do this more often than we are aware or is it as rare as the documented cases?10:15 Why have we seen this more in South Africa?11:45 The killer whale that killed the white shark at the Farallones was a transient, meaning it hunted marine mammals, not fish. Yet it killed the white shark on the spot as if it new exactly what it was doing.12:39 Remember, the majority of the cases of white sharks that have apparently been killed by orcas were NOT witnessed, but are based on finding carcasses washed up on shore. This limits what we know about how the killing took place or even if some cases were scavenging events.13:00 Will humans acknowledge their own role in changing the condition of the ocean and consequently the behavior of the animals in it?Several more episodes are coming in this series.

Orca VS. Jaws: Setting the Record Straight - Introduction White Shark Video 2024-03-18 | Episode 2 is now availableyoutu.be/lBJV_2RhgFs?si=UTOoszj-UtH73D4eFootage of orcas killing white sharks is undeniably intriguing. Unfortunately, much of the information being spread in association with this footage is incorrect and misleading. By far and large the media outlets are responsible for most of the misinformation, but unfortunately, some of the information is coming from scientists. For this introductory video I simply ask the viewer questions in preparation of the upcoming deep-dive videos.Where was the footage filmed? Who filmed it? When? Which footage are we even talking about? Are the headlines accurate? Is the information in the articles accurate? Are the “studies” being published accurate? Solo killer whale kills white shark seen for the first time. Whale kills shark.Rogue orcas are decimating shark populations.Sophia. Port.

Uncut Interview with the First Human to Witness an Orca Killing a Great White: 1997 White Shark Video 2024-03-17 | Full interview with captain Mick Minegoz, who witnessed the first known predation of an orca on a white shark at the Farallon Islands in 1997. Also appearing in the interview is James Moskito, then of Shark Diving International, now running Ocean Safaris. I highly recommend this video which takes a detailed look at the frequency and locations of orcas preying on white sharks.youtu.be/lBJV_2RhgFs?si=UTOoszj-UtH73D4e00:29 James introduces Mick01:29 We saw the whole thing01:45 Orca tears apart California sea lion02:16 The orcas left the kill to interact with the boat02:40 A white shark investigates the abandoned carcass, the orca responds03:21 The orca begins showing off the trophy03:37 Resident shark scientists Peter Pyle and Scott Anderson are not able to immediately come on site.04:40 After the one orca has killed the shark and shown off its prize, both orcas proceed to tear the shark apart05:10 Where's the footage?06:10 Many people didn't realize the magnitude of the event at the time07:45 Means of death? Orca interaction.07:55 Note that at the Farallones a 12 foot white shark is considered small.08:38 This was A5 of the LA Pod 08:56 These were transient orcas, the ones that eat marine mammals, but in this case they killed a shark. So was it mainly because the shark approached their food, thus they killed it, then went ahead and ate the liver since it was available? 10:15 How long did the orca "play with its food"?10:48 It happened again a few years later and Mick was there again. DNA analysis confirmed the victim of the orcas was a white shark. #whiteshark #orca #predator #prey #greatwhite #interview #skylerthomas #whitesharkvideo #wsv #mickmenigoz #killerwhale Event: 1997Interview: 2008

Blue Water White Death and Endless Summer: 50 Years Later White Shark Video 2023-12-22 | A Shark Diver Looks Back at two classic ocean films that came out more than 5 decades ago (1971 and 1966). There were things I didn't think twice about or at least thought very differently about when I first saw these films compared to when I watch them now. How about you? Have your perceptions changed?As someone who has spent a good deal of time on the topic of shark culling, it's particularly interesting to me that I didn't think twice about the mention of the shark nets in Endless Summer nor the blatant correlation of whaling and shark activity on the Durban Coast mentioned in Blue Water White Death.It's also interesting to consider speciesism in these films and how our feelings toward whaling may have changed, how using a harpooned mammal for a film shoot might be criticized today, and seeing these shark experts needlessly kill sharks with bang sticks. #bluewaterwhitedeath#endlesssummer #greatwhiteshark#filmreview#whitesharkvideo#skylerthomas
The REAL reason JAWS was so bad for sharks White Shark Video 2023-12-12 | Upon rewatching JAWS while editing my new film I realized that Richard Dreyfuss's character, Matt Hooper, was spreading the very lies politicians use to cull sharks today. I've long defended JAWS and other "shark fear films" based on personal accountability; humans should be able to think rationally, rather than base their approach to existing on earth upon the feelings a Hollywood movie incited. However, I think it's worth pointing out that the most damaging aspects of JAWS were not the scenes of a shark killing people, but the misinformation spread by the "shark expert" in the movie. #jaws #misinformation #sharks #cull #whatswrongwithjaws #sharkfear #greatwhites
Shark Party and Virtue Signaling - Anthony Jeselnik White Shark Video 2023-07-28 | He's really dark...and really accurate. "and that's why tonight is so special." What a quote, so offensive, and yet I can't help but wonder if the media, Shark Week, and everyone on Twitter would calm down about shark attacks if they happened more often. These rare tragedies are celebrated by people rather than truly looked upon as tragedies.#anthonyjeselnik #sharkparty #virtuesignaling #sharkattack

Carcharias: The First Cageless Dives with White Sharks Ever Filmed White Shark Video 2023-06-30 | I saw this film for the first time during my first white shark internship in Gansbaai, South Africa, in 2004. The film was released in the year 2000 and many people, including myself, did not know it existed! To this day this is some of the most amazing footage of free diving with white sharks.Featuring the legendary pioneer of white shark free diving, Andre Hartman.
SharkCast S1 E6: Regi Domingo Discusses the Challenges of Wildlife Conservation White Shark Video 2023-06-26 | Regi speaks with Skyler about ecology and the amazing amount of wildlife connected to each other in Baja California. We also talk about her personal experience working on a boat in Guadalupe and the controversy of shutting down tourism at this island.Activist, expedition leader, wildlife lover, Regi Domingo tells us about the challenges of conserving wildlife in the Baha Peninsula. And once again the discussion of Guadalupe Island shutting down comes up, largley because Regi worked on one of the boats that had a fatal shark incident. Regi pushed for improved diving regulations and was fired for it.A few quotes rom the interview:"Everything is connected. The vaquita is now gone. We fought to save it, the warnings were out there that it was endangered, and now its gone. It’s sad in the sense of humans killing off an animal species, but we also need to think about the fact that the vaquita existed where it did for a reason. It wasn’t an accident. It had a purpose, a role, a niche in that local ecosystem, but now it no longer exists to fulfill that purpose."“Where did we lose the education of learning how to care for our fellow earthlings and the earth itself?”“Now we tell our trip guests when they see a hammerhead that they might be some of the last people to see them. ““The white sharks are so charismatic that you get excited and even protective of them.” Regina Domingo is the Executive Director and Founder of NakaweProject. She is also a dive instructor, sailor, conservationist, producer, photojournalist, campaigner, and passionate researcher behind the documentary Game Over Fishing.Six years ago, she decided to devote her life to the ocean after a profound experience volunteering with Park Rangers on a world heritage site. She patrolled the waters of Cocos Island and Costa Rica for two months with the Park Rangers, protecting sharks from illegal shark fishing. Regina has said, "The oceans need us now more than ever and humans need to be infatuated with nature." She is currently living in Mexico, working with sharks, both dead and alive, in an attempt to understand what is happening to their decreasing population, all the while inspiring others to protect them.Her dedication for the ocean has led her to become the founder, and executive director of Nakawe Project, a non-profit organization that dedicates its time and efforts to the protection and conservation of marine life around the globe.As the director at Pelagic Safari, the career path she has chosen is ocean centered. She is also directing an Ecotourism platform (Pelagic Safari in Baja California Sur, Mexico) which introduces and engages people with the Pelagic life that surrounds Baja California. She is passionate that Ecotourism is the key to connecting people with the oceans, and the species that call the sea home. Part of her mission is to share the message, that if people grow an appreciation for the sea, positive changes will be made.Growing up by the Mediterranean Sea, next to Barcelona, Spain; She has been surrounded by the ocean her entire life. With massive persistence and intense courage, she managed to gain access to places no one else has. Doing so has led her teammates to believe she is an unmatched researcher for documentary work. Regina has worked directly with government authorities, organizations, and different creative teams in numerous locations throughout the world. Her experience includes working in shark conservation with Randall Arauz of Pretoma for two years in Costa Rica. They collected and analyzed data that led to the protection of the Silky and Thresher Sharks in CoP17 CITES.Her film experience includes being a fixer for the Rob Stewart film Sharkwater Extinction, Mission Blue with Kip Evans about the Shark fisheries and trade, for National Geographic Wild and for Pilgrim Media Group.Her persistence never expires, and because of that, she never quits. Regina is always reaching to obtain the necessary information and footage required to allow the information to reach billions of people worldwide. The result being a change in the positive direction to work together for ocean conservation.
The SharkCast S1 E5: James Moskito on White Shark Diving in the Pacific White Shark Video 2023-06-19 | Episode 5 of The SharkCast features James Moskito, a pioneer of white shark tourism at both the Farralon Islands and Guadalupe Island. With his years of experience he is able to offer an interesting perspective on the shut down of Guadalupe Island. He also gives us a teaser of some new diving opportunities to coming to California. Don't forget to grab the exclusive discount code James offers to join him on his expeditions at the end of the interview!James is the same guy who rescued this humpback whale drowning in crab traps lineyoutu.be/0tCy9I5YgTIThe California native and the founder of Ocean Safaris has led over 800 hundred expeditions both in the US and abroad and logged over 6000+ hours underwater, much of that time with some of the largest sharks on the planet.Over the course of our conversation, James tells us how the Guadalupe white shark tourism came to be and the consequences of the closing of the island to tourism. Considering his many years working in the area and dealing with shifting government personnel to renew his permits, James has a unique perspective on the matter.“I figure they lost close to ten million dollars annually in the Ensenada area by shutting down cage diving,” James told us.When asked about the downside for the sharks in the area without tour operators being there, James said there is less monitoring of fishermen encroaching on the waters.“We’ve already seen them. We pull in and the fishing boats are there fishing in the biosphere until we chase them off, so if they are already there now…”Oceansafaris.comwhitesharkcafe.com#jamesmoskito #cagediving #guadalupe #sharkdiving #orcas
The Shark Cast S1 E4: Dr. Sara Andreotti Tried to Warn Us White Shark Video 2023-06-12 | Blaming the fishing industry or beach safety nets for the drastic decline in the white shark population of South Africa isn't a very fun story. Talking about two incredible ocean predators clashing and one defeating the other, well, that's a sexy story that the media wants and people would be happier to read. Unfortunately, as Sarah says in the interview, this is science, not a belief system. The data Sara shared tried to warn us of the pending disappearance of white sharks in South Africa. After listening to her interview, does her data seem valid to you?Dr. Sara Andreotti has been studying white sharks in South Africa since 2009. She has also helped develop the Shark Safe Barrier.
SharkCast S1 E3: Chris Fallows: What Really Happened to South Africas Great Whites White Shark Video 2023-06-05 | The disappearance of South Africa's white sharks is no longer new news, but the real reasons for this drastic change have been overshadowed by the media hype of two titans of the ocean colliding.According to Chris Fallows' compelling argument, orcas, despite being present, are not the real reason for South Africa's white shark disappearance. Instead, once again, wildlife were sold out with almost unbelievable incompetence.Chris can be seen in my first documentary at the following link as well as at videos listed on the end screen of this video.https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B01IQDOG84/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r00:01 Intro, small talk, photography:Chris’s prints raise funds to save habitat01:48 No longer sees white sharks. His last significant breach photo was in 2018.03:27 White sharks require a variety of food sources, not just pinnipeds04:49 white sharks getting entangled in the long lines that catch smaller sharks05:38 A whistleblower has revealed how many white sharks were caught on the boat he was on. Multiply this by the other boats and this fishery single-handedly becomes the single largest killer of white sharks known on the planet.06:18 Affiliated scientists has their academic credential resting upon blaming the orcas.06:58 Dr. Sara Andreotti’s population estimate was ignored, but if you were to take it seriously it means a total population of 550 was having 100 sharks removed from it yearly via the fishery and the Natal Sharks Board.07:57 From a socioeconomic point of view the fishery also doesn’t make sense. The money brought in is dwarfed by white the presence of white sharks brought in. So this doesn’t make sense ecologically, morally, or financially.$800,000 compared to $70,000,000 annually.09:00 Why do the naturalists on the water every day continue to be ignored ?11:20 Responding to pressure, the government conducted a test based on only three sets of longlines, which is too small a sample size to base any true results on. Even still, 2 of 3 of those sets caught and killed white sharks. So their own attempt to prove this wasn’t impacting white sharks proved that it was, and this STILL didn’t matter.14:54 Comparing California’s white shark protection history and South Africa’s makes it even more mind boggling what South Africa chose to do. South Africa basically did the exact opposite of what was proven to help white sharks in California.15:58 Turns out they were fishing in a marine protected area with impunity which nullifies the argument of all the work and studies that went into creating the MPA.17:25 Chris and others gathered evidence and built a court case against the authorities who were denying the fishing taking place in the MPAs, but this effort has been effectively defeated by being stalled in court for 4 years.18:00 Taxpayer funded studies, which should be publicly available, had to be demanded via the information act through an effort by Enrico Genari.20:00 Who benefitted from selling out the wildlife?21:57 Octopus fishery, drowning whales, jobs, ethics, and ecology…All photographs of wildlife appear courtesy of Chris Fallows.

Great white shark spits out tuna White Shark Video 2023-05-25 | People who have worked on white shark tourism boats have likely seen this behavior. I know I have it on camera several times...sometimes the shark decides there is something "fishy" about the fish and actually "spits" it out. I've even seen them get spooked by the bait. This shark clearly had this tuna if it wanted it. Remind me to post some of the "rejected bait" shots.
